POST AT MY COMPUTER

Sometimes, the Internet can be an unsafe place. Because of this, I am making this agreement with my parents to help keep me and my family safe.

C O M M U N I T Y  S A F E  I N T E R N E T   P O R T A L

1. I will work with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide upon the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be online, and areas that I am allowed to visit. I will not access other areas or break these rules without their permission. 

2. No matter who asks while I'm online, I will never give out my home address or telephone number, the name of my school principal or teachers, where my parents work or their telephone numbers at work without getting my parents' direct permission.

3. If I view any information or material that makes me feel confused or uncomfortable, I will tell my parents right away.

4. I will never send anyone anything, especially a picture of me or my family, without getting my parents' direct permission.

5. I WILL NEVER MEET WITH ANYONE I'VE TALKED TO ONLINE. I will let my parents know immediately of anyone asking to meet with me.

6. I will NEVER give out my online passwords to anyone--not even my friends. No matter how "official" it looks, I understand that no one should ever ask for my password online. If they do, I'll tell my Mom or Dad right away, because I understand that this is just a way to trick me into giving out the password.

7. If I want to download any games or programs, I will show them to my parents first and ask permission.

8. If I receive any messages or pictures that are mean or makes me feel uncomfortable, I realize that this is not my fault. I agree to tell my parents right away so they can notify our Internet service provider and stop this kind of thing.

9. I will never use bad language or send mean messages online. I will tell my parents if someone does that to me.

10. I give my parents permission to look on my computer whenever they want to see where I have gone on the Internet, the e-mail I have sent and received, or what I do in a chat room. I have read the above and agree to follow these rules. If I don't, my parents can take away the privilege of using the Internet.

As a parent I will make every effort to talk to you about safe internet surfing and anything that makes you uncomfortable on the internet.
